North West's performance of The Lion King has been branded a 'horrible job' by online trolls.
On 24 May, North took part in the 30th-anniversary concert at the Hollywood Bowl and performed 'I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,' all while dressed as a young Simba.
A few of her family members showed up to support the 10-year-old for her on-stage performance, with her famous parents Kim Kardashian and Kanye West watching in the crowd, as well as grandma Kris Jenner and her aunt and uncle, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker.

North wasn't the only famous face taking part, as starring alongside her was Jeremy Irons and Nathan Lane from the 1994 original movie, as well as Billy Eichner, Ernie Sabella, Jason Weaver, Bradley Gibson and Jennifer Hudson.
Mum Kim later shared a snap of her daughter in her get-up and a few pictures with her fellow performers to Instagram to celebrate the occasion.
However, online trolls decided to pick apart North's performance, calling it a 'horrible job'.
One X user hit out: "Imma say it… North West did a horrible job on the Lion King! You can tell she never went to practice, they just plopped her in last min."
While a second wrote: "Imagine paying for a ticket to see a 30th anniversary concert of The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl, full of guest stars that were the original voices, and you have to suffer through North West like it’s an elementary school pageant."
"North West is not a talented child," a third said.
"Why is she in the Lion King singing 'I just can’t wait to be king' girl go sit in the crowd man."
But others were quick to defend North against the haters, accusing them of 'bullying children'.
One X user wrote: "This is a kid so I’m just gonna say it looks like she’s having fun."
"Y'all gotta chill on North n stop acting like she ain’t a child too," another pointed out.
"I’m sure the other billionaires and their kids are fine."
A third added: "Y'all bullying and comparing children…"
But others were delighted that her parents came together to support their child, writing: "This is so cute and great that her parents and forget about their differences and support the kids."
Another TikTok user said: "She did great, she's 10 performing in front of an audience..."
"What a great experience for her!" gushed a sixth. "She clearly practiced!"
